The basics... screw drivers, sockets, open end wrenches, vice grips, duct &
electrical tape, wire. Also I carry one of those plastic ratchet type clamps
for woodworking. I have a twin engine yamaha jet, and I've been told that if
one engine quits, you need to limp back at no-wake speed so water doesn't
enter thru the intake of the dead engine... winding up in the cylinders. The
clamp is so I can pinch off the cooling line intake, and then run the good
engine at a decent speed to get back.

I'm sure though, when/if I break down, I won't have the right tool or part.
Thank goodness for two engines.

........toolbox on your boat?

I carry over and beyond the basic tools plus a box of various stainless
steel hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc), a spool of electrical
wiring and connectors/crimper, a 12v soldering iron and wire, a prop
wrench and replacement prop, an emergency belt as well as various engine
fluids.

Sometimes none of these items will save you (as witnessed by my
overheating incident this summer). However, it is nice to know some basic
emergency repairs can be made and I don't have to bring tools to the boat
when I work on it.

So what is in your boat toolbox?
